how do i : graph the line with slope -2 passing through the point (-1,5)

Answer 1

y -5 = -2(x+1) is the equation in point slope form

y = -2x +3 in slope intercept form with y intercept = (0,3)

solve for x

2x = 3-y

x = 3/2 -y/2 x intercept = 3/2 = (1.5, 0)

plot the two intercepts, connect them with a straight line That's the graph you want
